Convertible top covers

Z FORE · 08-22-2008, 08:59 AM

Is anyone using these? It seems to really enhance the look by covering the sides of the top when it is down. Thanks!

Yes

I am using these.... looking much better than without

Is it an easy application? Are the sturdy (don't rattle or want to fly off) at highway speeds?

^+1 I have the same questions,... also, part number? expensive?

I never understood the point of these covers. You have to put them on every time you put the top down and then take them off again when you want to put the top up? Sounds like a royal PITA!

I agree, but since my Z is not my daily driver, I often just take it out for long rides. I usually don't stop anywhere I would have to put the top back up, so that's why I thought they seemed interesting.

These covers make a really clean look after the roof is down....to put them on takes less than 20sec. same as take them off. Good for weekend sunshine drivers.

I have these too. I usually put them on when I am going on trips and want to keep dust and crap from flying in there. For daily use and short trips I leave them in the trunk, but there are easy to put on and take off (no more than a minute each side). AND I have accidently put the top up with them on - they just pop up and don't break. Probably would use them more if I had a garage and didn't feel the need to put the top up when parking at home.
